Gabriel Torres, 29: Raleigh shooting victim was a calming presence on police calls

A white horse drew in the casket, draped with the flag of the United States, of Raleigh Police Officer Gabriel Torres across Yonkers Road to Cross Assembly Church.

The sun was bright but it was quiet and the mood was somber outside the church’s main entrance early Saturday afternoon.

The church was crowded with hundreds of people — family members, friends and law enforcement officers from across the state — there to celebrate and remember the life of Torres, who was shot and killed in the mass shooting in the Hedingham neighborhood on Thursday, Oct. 13.
